In this BBC Documentary, journalist John Sweeney interviews several individuals connected with the Church of Scientology and investigates allegations by former Scientology followers that the church sought to divide their families, a claim the church has denied.

This is fantastic. I am very sure Chuck Beatty will love it too. Open exposure, professional academic opinions and discussions to help society deal with cults of all kinds. Is this directly related to Jon Atacks newer expanded focus?

The Stop! And Think! Film Series is a set of documentary/informational pieces meant to challenge us to think carefully about our world and the culture in which we live. Each film was selected for its relevance to the field of psychology, but also to our everyday lives. We hope to inspire a sense of greater connection to the world and each other with our discussions of the important, provocative, and contemporary issues that impact us all. Each event will include a viewing of the film and a discussion of the film with Dr. Lisa Cravens-Brown.

I got to wondering how much fodder this will yield as OSA gets busy with there various 'Fair Game' tactics. Maybe on the tickets, there could be a link to some good enumerated descriptions of the various OSA Fair Game done by their intelligence and spy departments so that attendees will be able to watch for and record the footbullets. Would be great testimonial and recorded material for follow up presentations.

Here I'll get em started on slogan ideas.

Don't Stop. Don't Think.
Just Know the world is on the brink.
And the ONLY one that can save your soul,
Is a dead psychopathic asshole.

Many more Colleges and Universities should offer similar programs. College is the place to safely test and examine different social constructs and ideologies. It's especially valuable in cases where deceptive marketing and high pressure recruitment techniques are employed.

Parenthetically, I'd add that if one has seen the slick promotional materials that ISIS and al Qaeda use for recruitment, they're eerily reminiscent in layout, and copy that invokes a grandiosity of claims that speaks to a nobility of purpose often found in Scientology promo materials. Young minds, especially, need to be inoculated against all such predatory ideologies.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough,
we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."
